Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 29 hymnals Topics: Opening of Services Lyrics: 1 It is good to sing Thy praises And to thank Thee, O Most High, Showing forth Thy loving-kindness When the morning lights the sky. It is good when night is falling Of Thy faithfulness to tell, While with sweet, melodious praises Songs of adoration swell. 2 Thou hast filled my heart with gladness Thro' the works Thy hands have wrought; Thou hast made my life victorious, Great Thy works and deep Thy thought. Thou, O Lord, on high exalted, Reignest evermore in might; All Thy enemies shall perish, Sin be banished from Thy sight. 3 But the good shall live before Thee, Planted in Thy dwelling-place, Fruitful trees and ever verdant, Nourished by Thy boundless grace. In His goodness to the righteous God His righteousness displays; God my rock, my strength and refuge, Just and true are all His ways. Scripture: Psalm 92 Used With Tune: ELLESDIE (DISCIPLE)
